Happiness is NOT relative

You know you are happy when you are happy. It's not something that is relative. Joy either is.. or isn't.

The secret to happiness though, (as simplistic as it sounds, it IS true), is all in your attitude. Either you are grateful/thankful, or you are bitter and resentful or jealous or unthankful.

Being thankful for what you DO have really does make what you don't have seem less of a loss.

Try it! Be thankful!
